Rapper Jim Jones went viral when he confessed that his mother taught him how to French kiss as a young kid using her own mouth. His mother did an interview to explain her actions, and she only made her action appear worse especially when she revealed something else she taught her son as a kid that's an adult conversation only. She said she had to be the mother and father though his father was there in some capacity. That is no justification for her dysfunctional behavior. The Joneses have sparked conversations about child abuse and parenting. And that's good. But there is no question in my mind: Mother Jones's behavior was completely inappropriate and unhealthy. But rather than judge her harshly, I wonder who taught her that in order to teach your child about sex, you have to show him? She was 17-years-old when she had Jim. I wonder about what she learned as a child.

Sometimes we wish we could snap our fingers and change the people and events of our past. We can't. We can only change ourselves. Start transforming!

I used to wonder why God had put me through so much. From toxic, dysfunctional family members to fake friends and people who just seemed to want to use me and bring me down for no apparent reason. I prayed to God and asked Him why? Why was I being punished? I remember hearing in my mind's eye, "You're not being punished.You're being prepared. For Suweeyah, how can you help heal others unless you are healed? How can you help others if you don't know their pain and confusion? You can sympathize. But that is not the same thing as truly understanding their suffering. You are exactly who and what you say you are.There are people who will come against you simply because of who you are and what you represent. You are a light. So get up, and keep going." And I did. I welcome the opportunity to help you. www.reimagineworlds.com

2 2 2 means 3 x's the focus should be on YOU. Self-love is necessary to heal emotional wounds and childhood trauma. Because I loved myself and wanted better, I refused to carry dysfunctional family patterns in my life as an adult. Those behaviors died with me. I did it for my children and grandchildren, and I had never laid eyes on them.

People let their favorite celebrity be their external voice because it's easier to tag someone else for the tough stuff. But it is your responsibility to use your voice to speak up, not an actor or musician you admire. So, get to know your purpose. You're being called to do something.

Celebrities. You might know their favorite snack, favorite TV show, and what they look like without makeup. But how well do you know your true self? Not too good, according to a study. It’s been found that people identify more with celebrities than themselves and their own interests.⁣⁣ This is a dangerous phenomenon: we seem much happier when we see ourselves as fans of others rather than as unique and important individuals with our own purpose.
